This weekend we picked events that are unique or special in some way. So we ended up with not one but two Zwift Labs events, plus the longest scheduled ride of the weekend, a popular women’s race, and more. Enjoy!
🤝 Zwift Labs: Mountain Mullets
✅ Unique Event
Zwift Labs events kicked off this week, and you can give the first event type a try: the Mountain Mullet! In these events – designated as rides, not races – the group rides the Volcano Climb route (23.3km, 203m), and at the top of the climb everyone gets a Big Wheel for a fun descent and ride to the finish.

🥇 Zwift Women’s Racing Series
✅ Women Only
Zwift’s popular Women’s Racing Series is in its fourth week, and Saturday is your last chance to finish week 4’s stage. It’s a simple scratch race on 1 lap of Watopia’s new Mountain Mash route (6km, 335m). Bring a climbing bike!

Even if you haven’t raced this series yet, it’s a wonderful opportunity to jump in and race a sizeable field of women. Why not give it a go?

🤝 Ascenders Team Sunday Mission
✅ Endurance Challenge ✅ Unique Event ✅ Legacy Leader
Here’s a long ride with a twist – there are two length options (100km or 100 miles), but everyone rides on the same route and starts together. This week the ride is on Watopia’s Big Flat 8 route.

How We Make Our Picks
We choose each weekend’s Notable Events based on a variety of factors including:
- Is the event unique/innovative in some way?
- Are celebrities (pro riders, etc) attending/leading?
- Are signup counts already high, meaning the event is extra-popular?
- Does the ride include desirable unlocks or prizes?
- Does the event appeal to ladies on Zwift? (We like to support this under-represented group!)
- Is it for a good cause?
- Is it just plain crazy (extra long races, world record attempts, etc)?
- Is it a long-running, popular weekly event with a dedicated leader who deserves a shout out?
In the end, we want to call attention to events that are extra-special and therefore extra-appealing to Zwifters. If you think your event qualifies, comment below with a link/details and we may just include it in an upcoming post!
